Top 25 Films of the Past 25 Years – National Review

National-review-top-25

The National Review has listed their Top 25 Films of the Past 25 Years. I’m a little surprised about the list. Some of the movies that are on the list and some that aren’t.

I’ve seen 20 of the 25.

The ones I haven’t seen?

  • The Lives of Others
  • Metropolitan
  • Brazil
  • United 93
  • Team America

Have you seen these? What am I missing? Should they even be on the list? What movies aren’t on the list that should be? Here are my additions:

  • STAR WARS
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • The Princess Bride
  • Good Morning Vietnam
  • Gladiator

Unlimited Doesn’t Mean What It Used To

This past weekend we decided to grab some pizza from Papa John’s, which is one of the favorite locations of both kids.

I’m the guy that loves just about everything on his pizza while the rest of the family enjoys plain ol’ cheese or pepperoni. I’m always on the lookout for a great pizza deal where I can get a supreme or multi-topping pizza and score a free cheese or one-topping pizza.

Looking at the online coupons I found the great deal above:

"Unlimited Toppings on Any Large Pizza (up to 7 toppings) $11.99"

I’m sorry. What?!

Seems like Papa John’s is a little loopy when it comes to the English language or basic math. Is it "UNLIMITED" or is it only 7 toppings? I knew 7 is a lucky number, but I always thought it was a little less in number than UNLIMITED!

I will say that Papa John’s has a good website for ordering online and remembering what you’ve ordered before so you can make your next order quick and painless. That is except for understanding what they mean by UNLIMITED toppings.

Vornado Uses Social Media to Impact Product Development

vornado-development-survey

Late last year I wrote a post about how Vornado was really taking advantage of using social media to both connect with existing customers and increase exposure to more potential customers.

They are continuing to take advantage of their expanding social network by encouraging their friends and followers to take part in their product development by taking a short survey.

This is the first example that I’m aware of where a standard company has taken advantage of social networks to impact their research and development. Not uncommon with social media and online or tech companies, it’s nice to see Vornado continuing  to expand their use and value of that use of social media.

If you’ve like to share your opinion about what products Vornado is developing, you share your opinion as well.
